MOSCOW - Mercenary fighters of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner group are preparing to move to Belarus under the terms of a deal that defused, a senior commander of the group was quoted as saying.
“We have to prepare bases, training grounds, coordinate with local governments and administrations, organise interaction with the law enforcement agencies of Belarus and establish logistics,” he was quoted by the “Yevgeny Prigozhin on Telegram” channel as saying.Prigozhin himself has gone uncharacteristically quiet over the past two weeks.
Prigozhin, long fiercely critical of Russia’s defence ministry and General Staff chiefs over their handling of the war in Ukraine, said he launched his “march of justice” on Moscow to protest against corruption and incompetence among the top brass.Asked about recent attacks on Prigozhin in the Russian state media, Mr Yelizarov said they were an attempt by Russia’s military establishment to drive a wedge between the mercenary chief and his Wagner fighters.
